Oct-14-06    positionalbrilliancy: Impressive, +5 for Salome Melia and Tania Sachdev Oct-14-06    samsal27: Good luck to Tania, Eesha, Mary Ann, Kruttika and P.Priya! Oct-14-06    doremi: 12 or 13 year old Hou Yifan is the highest rated player at 2481, her tournament performance rating is slightly lower at 2465. With 1 round more to go, she is shared 2nd-7th half a point behind the leader Melia. Looks like Hou Yifan needs a little of a plateau before she again jumps up in leaps and bounds in the rating list. Oct-14-06    CapablancaFan: Would Jessie Gilbert have been in this tournament or was she too old? Oct-14-06    CrystalFrost: Samsal27 are you an Indian?? Where do you live?? I am too!!!!! Oct-15-06    samsal27: <CrystalFrost> Yes, I am from Goa. Where are you from? 4 out of the top 5 boards in the 11th round feature Indians. I hope that we can get some medals! Oct-15-06    Sourav: Hi samsal27, CrystalFrost, I too am from India (my name gives that away anyway) ... I too hope the Indian girls win. Maybe the Indian media would drop its step-motherly treatment towards chess. Oct-15-06    CrystalFrost: <<<<Samsal27 & Sourav>>>> I am from Calcutta or Kolkata. I think this time Indian girls has a huge chance of getting medals after the terrible performance of the men in the OLYMPIAD Oct-15-06    samsal27: <I am from Calcutta or Kolkata.> Wonderful. Mary Ann Gomes from Kolkata unfortunately lost today. Oct-15-06    samsal27: <Maybe the Indian media would drop its step-motherly treatment towards chess.> I hope so, Saurav! Oct-15-06    samsal27: I think that Eesha and Harika who are both on 8/12 points and are placed 5th and 6th in the table after tiebreaks will be the best bets for a medal for India.- http://www.armchess.am/WJGCC06/wjgc... Oct-16-06    chessmoron: Awesome. Those Chinese young birds are pretty good. Oct-16-06    notyetagm: <chessmoron: Awesome. Those Chinese young birds are pretty good.> The Chinese women's team just reloads every Olympiad. Just imagine the team China will field at the 2008 Olympiad! Oct-16-06    s4life: Shen Yang and Hou Yifan took first and second in the final standing.. congrats to both of them for a fine tournament. Oct-16-06    notyetagm: 2008 Chinese Women's team: Hou Yifan, Shen Yang, and Zhao Xue. Might as well just give them the Gold Medal right now. Oct-17-06    samsal27: <Shen Yang and Hou Yifan took first and second in the final standing.. congrats to both of them for a fine tournament> Great performance by the Chinese. Kudos to them! Oct-18-06    s4life: <notyetagm: 2008 Chinese Women's team: Hou Yifan, Shen Yang, and Zhao Xue.> You forgot the current WC... Oct-19-06    samsal27: <CrystalFrost> We have to pin our hopes on the World Youth underway now in Batumi. I know that Mary Ann Gomes will be playing there as well. Nov-05-06    CrystalFrost: <samsal27> when is that tounament going to occur Nov-05-06    samsal27: <CrystalFrost> Tournament is over. Mary Ann got the bronze medal in the Under 18 section. Congratulations to her! Nov-24-06    samsal27: Mary Ann Gomes won the Asian Junior in New Delhi subequently. Congratulations to her!!
